Put a collar with a tag with your phone number on it. You will get a call if they run off. Unless, well you will probably get a call.
If the dog is able to be corralled sure, but most dogs when they're loose actively avoid interaction.
It really depends on the type of dog and it's personality. I've returned several over the years, including one old black lab sitting on a sort of highway, a super busy 4 lane road at maybe 45 mph. And I had mine returned from there too almost immediately when she ran off.
But hound dogs, or other hunting breeds are probably less likely to allow a person to approach.
