Has anyone found a solution to cut down on the ice buildup?

Assuming a dirt or gravel driveway:
I kept several buckets of that grey rock chips in the garage. When the ice built up, I would sprinkle a generous amount along with some rock salt. The salt would start softening the ice and the stone would pick up the suns heat to "nestle" into the ice giving the tires something to latch onto for grip. Then Spring cleanup was either they sunk into the mud or could rake them up and store for next ice situation.
