That is American English usage, highways have been around a lot longer
than motor vehicles or even America. 

In British English a highway is a route that the public have a right to
use. In England and Wales a public footpath or public bridleway are
legally public highways so the assumption that a highway implies motor
vehicles in English is incorrect.
