My driveway gets iced up at times from wet snows or freezing rain.
My tractors have excellent chains, the old plow/sander truck has 2 link spaced square link chains,
and the pickup and other 4wd or awd vehicles run studded tires.
I have seen times when the studs were inadequate on the highway vehicles,
that usually happens during a freezing rain storm when it also becomes quite difficult to even walk up the driveway.
I have been able to make it up on foot most times walking in my ditches with difficulty, The other alternative
is I call my brother with a chained truck or tractor or my nephews with a snowmobile with a studded track.
Once I get to the top my sand pile is accessible, I keep a good sized pile of treated sand (salted) under a plastic cover
for winter use.
In this picture I'm actually loading coal ash from my coal insert to spread on the driveway.
