Maybe it should be, but your assertion is incorrect. It is not currently a crime to create spaces where people using motor vehicles have a statutory right-of-way over people not using motor vehicles.
Cars themselves have very few rights. Property has its own rights only in very esoteric court cases like United States v. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins[0]
Personally I'd rather live in a society in which most common roads reserve default right-of-way for pedestrians and bicycles, but also in which some spaces are reserved for motor vehicles, particularly limited-access highways away from city centers. I'd also like plenty of public transportation both locally and inter-regionally, to eliminate the "need" to own personal motor vehicles.
I just keep separate what I want from what is reality.
For the benefit of people, cars and trucks should have right of way over pedestrians on limited access highways. Just as trains should on intercity train tracks and aircraft on runways.
