It will deadlock in the center because the car lanes are used for two directions. Unless you upgrade those unidirectional lanes into bi-directional pairs of lanes.
And it will still deadlock, so you have to put a round-robin semaphore in the middle.
Simpler solution, just add a bottomless pit or small singularity in the middle to absorb excess traffic.
An infinite spiral could easily solve these problems.
