The bird walked two miles from its home in Peacehaven, East Sussex, before stumbling on to the A259 during rush hour.
Pc Shaun Logan of Sussex Police said: “We put him in a cardboard box. He seems completely fine, thankfully.”
The bird’s owner, who did not wish to be named, said the bird had been left distraught after his partner was mauled by a fox last month.
Georgina Jones, 29, who was stuck in the traffic chaos, said: “I was just trundling along and then people started slowing down.
“I could not believe it when I saw the goose in the road. People were braking quickly but he just stood there. It is really sad to be honest - although it did disrupt my day you have to feel sorry for the poor animal.”
