Why is this rail signal not creating a new block?
I am making a rail loop to collect all my raw materials and then take them to my processing sector.
Because of a pesky cliff, I have been forced to have my track loop back on itself. I decided that, even though this track should only see one train, to put some signals on there just in case. After setting up the signals, I noticed that the signal right after the loop was flashing and had not made a new block, despite it seeming like there was no reason for it not to.
Why is it not making a new block and how can I fix it?

Why is my rail signal red?
Red - The monitored block is not empty or another signal monitoring it is yellow. Blinking - The signal is not on a rail, or the monitored block is also the block before the signal.How do you set rail signals in Factorio?
Some are common, others are unique to a specific railroad. The most constant signals and the easiest to understand are single-head block signals. Red means stop; green means proceed, and yellow means caution or approach, usually indicating that the next signal is red.How do train signals work?
A red aspect (Danger) tells the driver that they must stop at this signal and they must come to a complete stop by the signal. They must not proceed past this signal and if they do, automatic emergency braking is applied and will bring the train to a halt.Train Signal Guide EVERYTHING Need To Know | Satisfactory Update 5
