It seems that you haven't checked out what "highway" means under the 
MVA.  It does not refer to something very specific, it is about as wide 
an encompassing definition as one can get.  Pay particular attention to b):

(a)	every highway within the meaning of the Transportation Act,

(b)	every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for 
or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles, and

(c) every private place or passageway to which the public, for the 
purpose of the parking or servicing of vehicles, has access or is 
invited, but does not include an industrial road.

So if it is a road, and it is not a private industrial road, 
then it is a highway upon which cyclists and drivers have the same 
rights and obligations.

Both drivers and cyclists have the same obligation, the obligation to 
observe the bylaw that restricts a roadway to a certain type of vehicle.

What do these have to do with having the same rights and obligations on 
how those vehicles are to be operated on public highways?
