I heard there were death threats to public works people for them being installed...

I like them and I wish there were some on my street. I believe the data shows they work (people generally slow down for chicanes and other traffic calming measures).

They're not going to stop someone that already treats the road like a race track though.

Martin Brundle narrates in my mind when I drive through the one on Westview. "He doesn't even think about the brakes, wasting no time through the chicane! Let's see if he can keep up this pace."

Edit: Apparently it's necessary to clarify that this was a joke, and that I don't "race" through these. The truth is I find them annoying to drive through, but I also recognize their necessity having lived on a street that could desperately use measures like this.

That doesn’t matter. You aren’t looking for linkedins target. You’re looking for any breadcrumbs that can relate to an individual- that you can use to broaden your search in the right way. I always check Linkedin when helping someone. I usually find a person - and usually they have other jobs they’ve worked (people treat it like any other social media and upload every job they’ve ever had sometimes.) Regardless LinkedIn works great for me.

So does Nuwber, and ClustrMaps. I would say those three are possibly the most beneficial when locating an individual for free. Between those three will pull up family, friends, birthdate, old addresses, jobs, numbers, email and so on. Most of the time the information is outdated but you’re still going to gain enough bread crumbs to keep googling. There are some paid services I also recommend but if you don’t use it often it’s not worth it.

Original point though - Linkedin has proven priceless for me to help others. You don’t find anything there? Keep searching. It’s a single start point of multiple.
