That definition looks like it only applies to highways, whereas this exercise is much broader.

In a legal context "highway" has a broader meaning than in everyday use. From the link above: highway "includes every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles"

Ok, looks like that doesn't include a park in which vehicles are forbidden then.

Did you look up the definition of "highway", or are you substituting your own? It's in there.

> highway "includes every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles"

By definition, a park where vehicles are forbidden is not a highway. Please don't act smarter than you are.

A park where vehicles are not forbidden also might not have any highways. Vehicles are defined in terms of being capable of transport on highways, but there are vehicles used off highways.

Just because the definition of vehicles refers to highways doesn't mean the definition is not relevant in a situation in which there are no highways.
