They both mean the same thing, but âgo alongâ is not a common way to say it.
âGo down,â and âcontinue down,â and âcontinue alongâ are all common. But âgo alongâ is not used often.

@3chord omg thank you soooo much! So can I say all of the following?
Go down the street
Continue down the street
Continue along the street
Go down the street
Continue down the street
Continue along the street

Yes, these are all fine!
The word âalongâ usually means ânext to,â so it could mean âon the streetâ or ânext to the street.â But people will always understand which one you mean. So you can use any of these phrases.
