up and down

Hi!

She looked up and down the hallway.

Does it mean that she looked left and right, ie both sides of the hallway?

Thanks

Possibly... She is not at the end of the hallway but somewhere between the two ends. She first looks in one direction along the hall and then in the other direction along the hall.
