As long as they deem reasonably necessary given the circumstances. I suppose it is possible for an officer to stop traffic for such a length of time as to be an abuse of the officer's discretion, although I have no clue as to what a driver's remedy would be in such a situation.

As long as they believe that it is reasonable to do so. They have broad powers in performing their jobs.

As long as it takes to deal with the incident. School shooting, traffic incident, collision, rabid animals, parental custody conflict? Hopefully, a flat tire should be dealt with promptly.
