"when all 4 wheels come to a complete halt", as I was once told by an extremely astute (LOL) officer of duh law.

Complete Stop

Its not about seconds. Coming to a complete stop means the vehicle has to be at rest before you proceed. You can physically feel the point at which the car is no longer making any forward progress at all and rocks back slightly. Once you make that complete stop, you are clear to proceed provided there is no other car that has the right of way before you.

There's no set amount of time. Your car just needs to stop moving completely. Once it has stopped moving, you've made a complete stop and you're free to go whenever the road is clear. A lot of people just do a "rolling stop" where they never really stop the car's momentum, but simply slow down as they reach the stop sign and then hit the gas again before the car ever really stopped moving.

Unless you are in Utah then a "complete stop" is actually having your vehicle come to a complete stop. Then you wait to see if traffic is clear before you proceed.
In Utah a "complete stop" means you roll up to an intersection and if it looks clear you keep going without stopping.
We have some extra-shitty drivers here.

Pull up to the sign/line, hit the brakes, the car will go forward, then backward, then it will come to a complete stop. There's no specific time frame involved, the car just eventually stops.

you are stopped when you are neither accelerating or decelerating, and you are not moving, relative to the ground under you.
that is just basic physics even a 5 year old knows when she is stopped.
As for a stop sign, unless there is another line marking the stop limit, then you have to do the above so that the front of your car has not passed the stop sign itself.

When all the crap slides off your dashboard and onto your lap, you have made a complete stop.
A complete stop is supposed to take three seconds of no wheel movement.

Long enough for all motion to cease and for the weight of the car to redistribute itself.

a complete stop is when all 4 tires have stoped moving. not just pausing.
