Have a look at the following sites to learn more about proper signal usage in OpenTTD:

TTDX Railway Guide
kokolokus' Signal Tutorial
OpenTTD Wiki: Signals

The best way to learn about signals is on your own. Members of this forum could tell you how to use them but unless you grasp the underlying reasons why they are used in a particular manner you will never fully understand what situations to specifically use them in. The best way to accomplish this is to start a game that you never intend to play or finish - call it an experimental game. Cheat yourself a lot of money (alt+ctrl+c) and fiddle about with signalling after reading the above guidelines. After a time you will come to understand exactly how the signals work in each circumstance that you want to use them in. If you cannot grasp a very particular circumstance of signal usage you can ask for assistance about that specific instance. Happy transporting and welcome to the forums.
