I'm in New Hampshire. Part of the Manchester-Nashua metro region or the Boston metro depending on which survey you use.
I think the word highway might have some regional nuance. Around here there are often open highways (highways with stop lights and connected side roads) and bikes are allowed to go on them. Although I wouldn't feel safe doing it. Bikes are not allowed on the kind of highway you are thinking of here either.
The speed limit on those roads tends to be 35 or 40 MPH. Not 65 like it would be on a large highway.
Edit: Here's an example from Nashua, NH (for privacy I found a place similar to where I live but not actually where I live).
Notice how the residential on the left is completely separated from the commercial on the right by "Daniel Webster Highway"... one could easily bike on that road if there were bike lanes but it is an extremely busy road and there is no safe way for a bike to take a left hand turn to get to the other side.
