Try Peachtree Dunwoody. Their answer to sidewalks is to put white lines
along the edge of hte road that just makes it look like it has shoulders,
not a pedestrian walk lane. Couple this with a ton of blind curves, and it
makes me amazed people would use this road as a jogging lane yet every now
and then I turn a curvfe and there is a jogger. Oh, and on one stretch
of curvyness, it doesn't even have the white lines or wide enough for car
and pedestrian to really share well (and this is where the blind curves
are at their worst). I saw some one jogging on that and I was just
thinking how I would drive somewhere to jog rather than jog there.
