There is no such thing in UK law as a right-of-way for a motor
vehicle.

There is by default on motorways and other vehicle only highways such as some
road tunnels and bridges. Eg Dartford crossing.

Motor vehicle drivers can only use those roads under licence.

That doesn't stop them having right of way.

Yes, it does.
If it was a right-of-way, they couldn't be stopped from using it.
But they can (and are) fairly regularly.

How?

Explain what you think you're talking about, by describing a mechanism
for "stopping [them] from using it" which couldn't and doesn't apply to
all rights of way (even footpaths).
