Imitating nature seems to be a great solution to this age-old problem... just plant grasses and small plants, and make sure that they get enough water. Dunes WITHOUT greenery move, and dunes WITH greenery stop moving...

Why does planting grass trees or shrubs help prevent dunes from covering roads?
The movement of dunes is called dune migration. If the wind usually blows from the same direction, dunes will move downwind. Dune migration occurs as sand is blown over the crest from the windward side and builds up the slipface. In mostly level areas, dunes migrate until they reach a barrier. To prevent dunes from drifting over highways and farm land, people often build fences or plant grasses, trees, and shrubs.
