pushing
I think 'push' is more appropriate than walk here. The whole sentence might be better as "People pushing their bikes or motorbikes are effectively/treated as pedestrians".

: "or" instead of comma and verb change make for a better sentence

: Walking your bike is fine in the USA. Pushing the motorbike would be more appropriate. And "are the same as" or "are considered" do sound better.

to push
The same idea of "pushing" except I'd like to offer a slightly different translation, with a different verb form, of the entire sentence:
People who push their bikes or motorbikes have the same right-of-way as pedestrians.
People who push their bikes or motorbikes have the same right-of-way as pedestrians.
