Lilian Does “walk down the road” mean “walk along the road”? The difference in meaning is small and sometimes they mean the same thing. "To walk ALONG the road" means "to walk on or at the side of the road in the same direction as the road" "To walk DOWN the road" can mean "to walk along the road in a direction away from you". "To walk UP the road" can also mean "to walk along the road in a direction away from you". "To walk the road" means to go on foot along the road.

They are not really very different. In English, we must have a preposition after walk here. You can choose 'down', 'along' or 'up'. They all give the meaning of continuing in a straight line on the road. The preposition gives information about the direction. If the road goes downhill, we say 'walk down'; uphill, we say 'walk up'; flat, we say 'walk along'.
