I always try to brief land ahead options in the event of an EFATO but one thing that often strikes me is how many runways don't really have one.
That's one that bothers me, especially after the Barton accident. Now if I'm going somewhere I either work out the runway in use from wind or if it's multiple runways I ask before I take off. I then go to 'View on map' from Skydemon and check out the Google image. If it looks like a crap departure (or even arrival) with no outs I don't go. I'm not happy being at full power and 200' above an urban connurbation.

Thinking about that, don't some departures therefore break the glide clear rule? Or does that fall under the 'unless landing or taking off' rule?
