That is definitely not planned or wanted... it's a case of confused pathing, probably due to an unfortunate location of your trade port - often seen in an extra tight river-bend or such...
Although not all boats stop when I get a map seed with them going in both directions, enough boats do stop to meet my city's needs, so it doesn't bother me. I couldn't remember what the river bend was like, so I loaded that map again to check, see photos below. Does that qualify as an extra tight bend? (I drew the camera way out and tilted the angle on the last screen shot, so you can see the boat on the left going opposite the boats on the right - and the one under the bridge.) I've had ports in tighter angles. i prefer my ports together in one area ("the docks") and i usually look for nice straight sections and/or areas where i can put ports at right angles to each other. Less than 5% of the time I make minor (2 squares or less) terrain alterations to make docks fit nicer, usually so the road in front of them lines up even. Could that mess with paths?
