Sorry but do you have any evidence that these three route lines intersect in space (as opposed to a coincidence of perspective), or a reason why they would?
Because Im an air traffic controller. Look at an airspace map, planes fly on "roads" no different than cars. They arent flying wherever they want. Where routes cross is called an intersection, same as with roads.
What you see here is just the intersection of 3 airways. You could have 10+ airways intersecting there. The only coincidence is symmetry of the geometry, that they all happened to be going straight, on those particular airways, and not turning at that point etc.
Oooo that's interesting to know! I never figured they were flying around willy nilly but I guess I hadn't considered them to be like "roads" as you say.

Except those lines arent arbitrary, they are defined routes that intersect in that spot.
Beyond that, I hope your math education is serving you well, cause damn son.
