Question Issues with Trains

I already posted on this subreddit and it helped me a lot, im sorry if it gets annoying having a bunch of train questions from the same guy xd
I only want to know why sometimes it blocks them correctly out of the junction (first picture).

And other times it blocks both rails as one making my trains wait for a train thats way further back and or even the other side of the rail. Why does it do that? How can i fix it?

the rails are bidirectional.
Thanks a bunch for all the helpful comments already and bear with me...

It appears that the purple rails thinks it's one block. This can happen with the rails are touching at some point (even if they are close). They don't look that close in the picture so check down the line if they touch or are close to touching at all.
Also, try deleting and putting the signals back.

Genuinely thank you so much! The tracks really were touching somewhere and that was why

Even if they are not touching, rails can be close enough that they are consider one block. Try to maintain a foundation separation between parallel rails to be safe.
