The Sidewinder rattlesnake moves laterally (as do some other - mostly desert living - snakes)
The four methods of snake locomotion are serpentine, sidewinding, concertina, and rectilinear movement. Serpentine locomotion involves lateral undulations of the body, allowing the snake to push off surfaces. Sidewinding is used primarily by desert-dwelling snakes to traverse loose sand, moving sideways in a looping motion. Concertina movement involves the snake forming loops and contracting to pull itself forward, while rectilinear movement involves the snake moving in a straight line by stretching and contracting its body segments.
lateral motion.
Lateral means: towards, or from the side or sides.
Snake
yes, it does, the adverb swiftly. It says that the snake was moving in a swift (rapid) manner.
Lateral rotation involves moving a body part away from the midline of the body, while medial rotation involves moving a body part towards the midline. Anatomically, lateral rotation occurs in a horizontal plane, while medial rotation occurs in the opposite direction.

My Corn Snake is quite slow, normally moving in a zig-zag pattern when moving in an open area, frequently stopping to 'sense the air'. I dare say if he was feeling threatened he would move much faster, probably in a straight line ! You can see a video clip of him moving on youtube, under corn snake slither.
Lateral flexion of the trunk involves moving the shoulders left or right towards the hips, therefore it is exercised in the frontal or coronal plane of motion.
The fastest venomous snake is the Black Mamba. It is able to reach speeds in excess of 12 miles per hour.
Moving sideways refers to making lateral movements instead of moving forward or backward. It can also mean making little to no progress or advancement in a certain situation or endeavor.
Lateral forces are horizontal forces that act perpendicular to an object's direction of motion. They can cause an object to move sideways or sway as opposed to moving forwards or backwards. Handling lateral forces is important in designing structures, vehicles, and other systems to ensure stability and safety.
