crushed rock

Explanation:
See first link for definition of "kult" in part as "(knust) stein mellom 8 og 20 cm som brukes til veianlegg, støping o l".

Ordnett.no defines "kult" as:
"kult (knust steinmateriale)
crushed stone"

and

"kult2 subst.m
1 (grovpukket stein) broken stones, crushed rock, road stones (ved veianlegg), ballast (under jernbanespor)"

The first thing that comes to this American mind in this context is "crushed rock", not "crushed stone". Second link is Google results for "crushed stone" + motorways, to show usage of the latter outside the U.S.
