I don’t think the police enforce traffic laws in parking lots
In France, the “traffic code” applies everywhere, even in parking lots where you have to drive on the right side, stop at the stop sign, and park where it’s allowed. I guess it’s equivalent in the USA or other countries.
In Germany the traffic law only applies to public roadways, places. A private road and private parking lots will usually have signage posting saying: traffic law also applies here.
In the US, traffic laws (basic stuff like stopping at stop signs, there’s carve-outs for obvious criminal shit) only apply on public roads. Parking lots, private roads, whatever, aren’t enforceable in the normal ways.
For the most part, state laws specify ‘public roadway’ for traffic crimes. My state has two specific laws that apply in private areas like parking lots: no insurance and unsafe backing.

It’s the same in Australia. Road rules apply on the road and “road related areas”, including your own driveway
