Running

1. Consider the following sentence:


"Dad and Mom had a RUNNING joke with the agents whenever people on the side of the road made na onscene gesture at the motorcade."


In this context, does 'a running joke' mean one that is used REPEATED TIMES?

2. And would the sentence be correct if it were written the following way: ""Dad and Mom had a running joke with the agents whenever people FROM the road made na onscene gesture at the motorcade."
