Crosses from side
Passes through describes movement from one side to the other without stopping: The highway passes through three states.
It can be physical—light passes through glass, a needle passes through fabric—or figurative: The bill passes through committee before reaching the floor.
To pass through a place is to visit briefly without staying: We're just passing through on our way to Denver.
