I had an accident once in a parking lot that was entirely my fault. I didn't get a ticket because it was a private lot. The cop even said when he got to the scene that he couldn't write a ticket. He just handled the situation as a mediator type and made note of the descriptions of the accident for insurance purposes.
What he said...no stop sign, no need to come to a full stop but using caution is advised because main road drivers always have right of way.
