Default how to make a TE "Rotate while traveling" but not turn at ends of network

I try to make a TE moving frowards and backwards along curved network. I want it rotate during the network path but only travel frowards and backwards without turning at the ends when travel back for load or unload tasks. To be clear, for a "H" shape path, the TE only turns when changing between vertical path and level path, but never turns at the ends when travel back. "flip threshold" option doesn´t help.

I used to turn off the "Rotate while traveling" option, and set new rotation of the TE whenever I have to. However, it's a dificullty task as there are too many nodes.

Is there any simple solution?

I think flip treshold function should be used to solve this. Just change the value when your TE goes to different edges on the networknodes.
Maybe you could attache a simple example model.

Attached is a simple model. I want the TE travel as TE2 in the model, but I don't like the way I did in in the model by writing script in the "on continue trriger", because there will be many many nodes in my project. I tried to use flip treshold, but the result is not what I want no matter what number I set.
