The video does not work, but I guess you mean that the switches only show one direction? This is purely cosmetical, trains can still go in all directions and the graphics will change according to the direction of the passing train.

As said, this is just the default directions during construction, trains can pass in any direction. As soon, as a train passes, the switches will show that direction until a train comes by in another direction.

Again, this is only visual, these are full functional threeway crossings.

(But I see that it can be confusing.)

Please read my answer above. This is only cosmetically, the switches will change with each passing train.
