they melt at a quick pace.bcoz they are hygroscopic which simply means that is absorbs moisture.
this helps the ice melter to dissolve into a brine faster which regulates the melting of ice surrounding it.

Hey there,
● Salts help to clean snow on road ...
- When salt is spread on icy roads, it dissolves into water quickly forming ions.
- Formation of multiple ions decreases the freezing point of water.
- This helps in ice reduction which prevents falling snow from freezing.
- Most commonly used salts for this purpose are calcium chloride, potassium chloride, common salt.
- Therefore, addition of salts on roads helps to clean up snow.
Hope it helps...
