Yes. Being on private property does not insulate you from law enforcement. If police observe something that warrants a traffic stop, they can make it regardless of whether you are in your driveway, a private parking lot, or a public street.

There are some limits to what police can observe on private property, but these generally don't come up in a traffic situation, because it is normally a case where they can see from the public road or the offense occurred on the public road.
