When you are coming out of a parking lot for a restaurant, etc, do you HAVE to stop by law?

if you are coming our of a parking lot with no control signals (stop sign, traffic light) onto a street/roadway there is the antiquated "boulevard rule". which simply stands for the proposition that the lesser roadway must yield to traffic on the greater roadway (i.e. a boulevard).
ive handled accident cases which occured entirely in a parking lot and they are very difficult as there is no real right-of-way.
lol i recently handled a DUI cases in which the guy was arrested for DUI as he was pulling out of a parking space at a gas station. i briefly mentioned that the parking lot was private for the customers of the gas station and therefore it was not a public roadway in which the police would have jurisdiction . . . . fortunately it plead out.
go skins!!
