A good rule of thumb is count to three without the wheels moving. I was told that by an officer after he stopped me for going through a stop sign even though I felt I had stopped completely. I only got a warning though.

There's no time on how long it takes to stop your car completely. If you're tires are at the stopped at the sign, not rolling at all, then you are compeltely stopped.
General rule is wait 3 seconds then go.

Obviously no has been hit by a jerk that didn't stop. I worked as a courier and was hit because some jerk took a right turn without stopping. I had a walk light in my favour but he thought he could beat it. Broke my pelvic bone in 2 places and ran over my foot.
Hey, I was in a hurry too, just didn't have the weight and momentum behind me. Put me out of business for 6 weeks. Hit and run --Thanks Dude.
Three second rule for sure.

A great question. You have to come to a complete stop. Not a California stop, rolling on.

The policeman watches the tire where it meets the road. To be legally stopped, there can be no perception of movement.
This is law by technology - - - not common sense.

I think that the general rule is a full three seconds.

A good solid three count ought to do the trick.
