Traffic light at FM 149, Spur 149 slated to be fully functional The traffic light located at the intersection of FM 149 and Spur 149 is set to be fully functional, with red, yellow and green lights flashing all ways, Montgomery County Precinct 2 Commis- sioner Charlie Riley said in a Nov. 9 interview.
