Wasnt sure where i should post this question so ill try here. i just recently started to get back into biking, commuting to work and back and a few other small runs when i get a chance. on my commute i travel along a highway for about 2 1/2 to 3 miles. another poster on these forums made me think that i really dont know the bicycle rules of the road. when i was little i was told to "stay out of the street" when i got old enough to go places i was told to "watch out for traffic" ive learned from reading here to go with traffic, before i always went against so i could see what was coming at me. but i havent seen any place that has a set of guide lines for biking safely with traffic? could someone send me in the right direction for a list of some sort

Since Joe has covered your local laws, here is a "how to" booklet:
