You can use conditional rules to determine which traveler should use which mandatory paths. The relevant labels can be changed during the model run. The changes will take effect when the next travel task is started.
While this is not officially supported you can also turn the usage of mandatory paths completely on/off by toggling the respective value in the navigator's attributes while the model is running.
Object Operator = Model.find("Operator1");
int value = 0; // 0 = off, 1 = on
setsdtvalue(Operator.find(">variables/navigator/1+"), "useMandatoryPath", value);
I'm not sure what you mean by Preferred Paths "act in reverse". If they are set up as one way paths, they will (or at least should) only be used when travelling in that direction. Though task executers might of course travel along the path in reverse by coincidence.
To restrict travel through an area in only one direction you can use one-way dividers.
