Synonym for "run alongside"
Hello, I'm looking for a synonym, but the online thesauruses don't seem to help.
It's a verb meaning to "run along" or "run down" as opposed to "run across". So "I ran down the highway" as opposed to "I ran across the highway". Is there a single verb for this?

We follow or travel a road when we proceed down it. That does not include the running, though. It is technically correct to say "I coursed the highway", and there is your synonym, but almost nobody will understand you.
