CaCl2 is preferred over NaCl for clearing ice on roads particularly in very cold countries. This is because:

1. CaCl2 is less soluble in H2O than NaCl.

2. CaCl2 is hygroscopic but NaCl is not.

3. Eutectic mixture of CaCl2/H2O freezes at -55°C while that of NaCl/H2O freezes at -18°C.

4. NaCl makes the road slippery but CaCl2 does not.
