I guess to be more accurate they don't by default enforce most traffic laws. Particular localities can adopt ordinances enforcing some or all traffic laws. But some traffic laws apply regardless of public or private roads like DUI and such.

In this case of stopping the answer is almost assuredly no. Absent a stop sign they can't even require you to stop on a public road unless not stopping would be reckless. Even with a stop sign on a private road they most likely don't have an ordinance particularly enforcing that law on private roads.
