I've found that to be the case as well.
In VA, you can ride on any road that does not directly prohibit cycling. Not that you would want to, in many cases, but I think the only things you can't ride on are "limited access" highways or interstates.
on a recent organized ride, we rode on a 60mph road, and climbed the whole time we were on it heading out. so we were sloooow, but traffic seemed courteous since their was many so many bikes. coming back, speeds got up to around 40-45, so we were sorta kinda keeping up...that was a rush but scary.
