"Drive along" as a noun

Is there such a usage? I've googled "drivealong" as one word too but to no avail.

And yet I've heard people say that in real life, especially to describe to road way in between northern and southern California.

I'm a native English speaker in the US and I've never heard the noun "drivealong" in my entire life. Maybe what you're thinking about is something like the following:

It's a long drive from northern to southern Calif.

You have to drive a long way from northern to southern Calif.

Another pattern that's heard is: "You drive along the main freeway going south from Frisco and you'll be in LA in less than a day."

What does this even mean?
San Francisco is north TO Los Angeles, not the other way around?

No, you said this:
maelstromSan Francisco is north TO Los Angeles
The earlier poster's sentence is flawless:
maelstromYou drive along the main freeway going south from Frisco and you'll be in LA in less than a day."
