New Traffic Signal under construction at FM 3351

TxDOT has started constructing a new four-way traffic signal at the intersection of Ralph Fair Road (FM3351) and Ammann Road.  The new traffic signal is expected to improve traffic safety, especially for motorists turning left onto FM3351.  Prior to being put into regular operation, the new traffic lights will flash yellow or red for approximately 1-2 weeks to make motorists aware of the new signal.  

 Motorists are reminded that a flashing yellow signal means slow down and proceed through the intersection with caution, and a flashing red signal means to come to a complete stop before proceeding.  As we learn more from TxDOT we will be sure to share the information with you.
