Nags,
Some people don't like stopping a potentially long distance prior to a turnout. ?Consider the scenario where there is one block between sidings which includes the turnouts for each siding. ?Now you don't need the toe/points/throat signal.

Since I have created separate blocks for each turnout in my layout, do I also need to create separate sections for each turnout?
Just putting it out there,
Any reason the two signals approaching the turnout (toe side) must be hard up against the turnout?
Personally, I would have put those signals at the start of the block and included each turnout in those blocks, TL0 in BLK0, TL1 in BLK3 with boundaries as shown.
