In some communities they oil the rural roads.

I would like to think we've gotten a lot smarter than we (as a society) were a few decades ago.

Used motor oil has been shown to have some pretty toxic waste combustion compounds in it, and I wouldn't use it for anything that would be in constant ground contact (like fence posts or dust control on a driveway) where it will eventually get into surface and ground water, or come in contact with things I'd feed to animals (like used on a hay or forage wagon). A few drops on

Used oil here gets recycled. It's better re-refined and re-additived and put back into a motor, than to keep adding demand and support for certain mid-east countries that return our investment with less favorable activities.

That is for dust control. What is asphalt made of?
