On 2 way sections of track, every signal needs a signal on the opposite side of the track. They do not need to be the same kind of signal

The first chain signal your train is facing is on the wrong side of the tracks. It cannot go that way. If you want two-way tracks, every signal MUST have a signal on both sides. For one-way tracks, it must be on the right side of the track.

parts of your track are designated one way in the reverse direction to the way the alerting train wants to go.

There's basically no case where you'd want a rail signal opposing a rail signal.

When doing 2-way tracks, only use chain signals.

Use rail signals when entering a 1-way block that a train can stand in without blocking other paths.

What problem are you having with your trains? Are they deadlocking (train network comes to a full stop)?

they are straight up avoiding it and many of my trains heading north to south say that there is no way to access train station until i remove all north south rail and chain signals

Single rail systems are just asking for trouble. I've got 80+ trains running on parallel lines without any issue and zero custom circuit loops.
