    I want to build a city layout where trolleys run on it.
    At the intersection I want a curve intersecting a straight piece of track.
    I am wondering if there are any curved crossover available in the market?

    Thanks

    It sounds as though you want a crossing through a curved track.
    (A crossover is basically a connected pair of turnouts that allow a train to move from one track over to the next)

    I've never seen a manufactured one.
    Best bet is to print out a crossing template (like this FastTracks one in N) and use it as a guide to hand-lay the sucker.

    That way you'll get the angle of the crossing and the radius of the curve just right for your layout, not a manufacturer's machines.
    If you're not hip to hand-laying, there are people out there who will make it for you.
