still gonna have to disagree man...private parking lots are different from public roadways according to what youre saying, a police officer could drive through iron ponys lot and ticket every bike on the sidewalk, regardless of whether or not they have permission to be there. cars parked outside of dealerships on the front walkways would also be parked illegally and subject to tickets. i just dont see it man.....guess we can agree to disagree, unless you have some way to prove it to me without a doubt, because im still gonna say not and a parking lot is not "a thoroughfare for purposes of vehicular travel"....thats why if you drive through a parking lot to ditch a light, you can get a ticket...but if you take a side street to ditch a light, you cant. one is intended for travel, the other is for "parking"
