Moved along swiftly
Made good time means traveled faster than expected or covered distance efficiently: We made good time on the highway—got there an hour early.
The phrase implies satisfaction with progress, whether driving, walking, or completing any journey.
It suggests favorable conditions or lack of delays rather than reckless speed.
