Atlas Signal System setup - what do you do at switches or for bidirectional traffic?

I am using Atlas' signal system and have a question for those people like me installing it post-closure/buyout of Custom Signals. (ie, I am limited to the out-of-the-box signal designs Atlas offers) ... Atlas isn't making signals that (a) are for bidirectional traffic and  (b) include a target light for diverging tracks at a switch.

I've attached a graphic of a simple concept layout with 1 set of switches and it shows where I would have to put signals for each direction of traffic. Red triangles represent block isolation. Circles with arrows represent the signals and arrow is direction of traffic.

Bidirectional traffic question:  are you putting 2 signals back-to-back, or across track and pointed in the opposite direction?

Switch/diverging path question:  do you just put 2 poles side by side to represent the straight vs. divergent path signals?  ...maybe sink one lower into the layout so the lower signal represents the divergent path?

Any ideas?
