She was spotted at 4.40am walking along the A168 at Boroughbridge by a North Yorkshire County Council highways staff member who had seen an appeal on Facebook.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Other than being cold and tired, she is thankfully safe.
“Many thanks to everyone who shared the missing person appeal and special thanks go to the hero highway man who helped to bring her to safety.”
