    USA-centric answer: It depends on what you mean by highway. Bicycles are not permitted on Interstate and other controlled access highways. Most other highways and roads do permit bicycles, in general requiring them to abide by the same regulations as motor vehicles, and requiring motor vehicles to give them the same right of way. Where they are usually not permitted is on sidewalks. Bicycles should ride with traffic on the right hand side, rather than against it on the left as is advised for pedestrians. A bicyclist would always do well to be aware of his impact on traffic and safety, and pull off the road and stop in a safe place as needed to let backed up traffic move past.
