You're not looking at single curved prims. Those are are made of several hollowed and path-cut cylinders, linked together. They are also megaprims, considerably larger than the maximum 10m dimension allowed for standard prims. To make one of these composite curves, then, you'll need to get megaprims of the appropriate size -- use the SALT HUD or look on XStreetSL for free megaprims -- and then hollow, cut, and link them. Do NOT try to resize them or they will snap back to the default 10m size and you'll have to start again.

two choices, either each curve is a separate prim than the straight parts (and just nicely aligned) or use sculpties.
the curves in this case can be replicated by hollowing a cylinder and path cutting it to around 0.0 to 0.25. the wider the cylinder, the larger the overall curve. mismatched cylinders width can produce some very interesting shapes.
