One way I know how to do this is by using ice blocks in the floor. Basically the items skid across the ice and then enter the next water flow:
Another is this way, however there is one direction this will not work last I knew. Can't remember if it's north or what:
the first video is like what i am looking for. except there cant be a break in the stream, i want the water to be constant. the gap is where the signs are to prevent the water from flowing backwards

Why? Even you or a mob will slide across that into the next water flow. You'll have to give more details if you want solutions.
It is possible to dig around a source block and not have it flow into the new path. I don't know how this works exactly, but I've noticed it while working with water. It would then be possible to have one stream flow directly into the next. Sorry I can't give more details.

Although your concept is correct - it is possible to have a source block not flow to the new path and it was in fact fundamental to a great many designs back before pistons - your conclusion is not. The way you do the trick is you remove a block next to the source while the source is flowing towards a hole one block away, and then you dig the block under the block you just removed and the source will not update. If you cause another water stream to flow into the source then it will update.

Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't really sure about this, but brought it up in case the OP wanted to look into it.
items will be flowing in from both sides of the stream so if an item lands where the gap is it will not flow the way the stream is flowing
The solution then would be to make a diverting water flow around the gaps by placing a notch to encourage water flow to head diagonal for the notch. Place a sign or ladder on a block opposite of the notch to stop the water from flowing on down into the bottom trench.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Wow! in all my years of Minecraft I have never thought of that! The only problem is if it goes out of a loaded chunk/despawns.
