I messed up the first one, sry. I am not sure, whether my method is the most optimal, but here it is:

1.) Draw 2 perpendicular lines for each straight "line"

2.) Connect their midpoints

3.) Snap the guides (turn off perpendicular snapping for this step, it may not snap otherwise)

4.) use the guides to draw your lines

This, of course, does not work well with curves. If you run into those, just try to match them
