In order to be able to get trucks in and out they mix in loamy dirt to make roadways where they need to be able to go with trucks. You get off the road just a little and you are stuck. Stone dust could also be called sand. The grains are very angular. You could put it into a sander body and drive a half a mile and it will compact enough that the chain will pull out only a little before it bridges over. Rounded grains move over each other freely and won't pack. Angular grains will not move past each other so they will pack nicely. Stone dust will pack like concrete after a little traffic.
