→Farm to Market Road 360 (FM 360) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that stays within Fort Bend County. The two-lane highway begins at State Highway 36 (SH 36) in Needville and proceeds northwest before ending at a U.S. Route 59 (US 59) overpass to the southwest of Beasley.
Route description
FM 360 is a two-lane highway for its entire length. The road starts at a traffic signal on SH 36 in Needville and is concurrent with Main Street. After going 0.4 miles (0.6 km) to the northwest, FM 360 comes to a traffic signal at FM 1236, which is also called School Street. Between SH 36 and School Street, the highway passes a church, homes, businesses, and the municipal offices. For seven more blocks after School Street, FM 360 goes through a residential part of Needville. After an open space, the highway passes a few more residential streets before entering the countryside. FM 360 continues straight to the northeast, without so much as a jog, until it approaches the US 59 overpass southwest of Beasley. In this long stretch, FM 360 intersects with the following section-line roads at right angles, in order: Williams School, Brinkmeyer, Modena-School, Wernecke and Vincik-Ehlert Roads. In the last hundred yards, the highway bends to the north, passes under US 59 and meets Loop 540 on the other side. US 59 is accessible to the northeast and southwest via entrance ramps.[2]
