Not in Oregon or Washington. Both states (and many others) classify DUI as a traffic crime that is enforceable on any premise open to the public (a parking lor or private road) as well as on a public roadway.

HOWEVER, running a stop sign, which is probably not enforceable on private property, may not create any kind of probable cause for a DUI stop. This is definitely a question for a DUI attorney, but I would not consider just running a stop sign (that you probably don't have to stop for anyway) probable cause for any kind of stop.

When is a subdivision considered private property?

A subdivision is considered private property as long as it is not owned by the government. The tract purchased by the developer is private property. Each lot sold by the developer is the private property of the purchaser. Any remaining unsold portions remain the private property of the developer. Each lot sold by the developer has the right to use the streets in the subdivision subject to the rights of everyone else to do the same. At some point the developer or lot owners may grant the streets to the town in fee or grant an easement of public way in the streets to the town. In some jurisdictions the town can come along and take the fee to the streets or an easement of public way by eminent domain. When that happens the streets become public ways.


Is it illegal to pull forward out of a parking spot if there is no one parked in front of you?

Is this taking place on private property parking lot (like a supermarket lot) or in a parking location on a public street? If on a private parking lot it would probably not be illegal to pull out of the spot in the manner you say, traffic laws generally do not apply on private parking lots. However, if you do it without due caution and hit someone or something you can be charged with the collision.
