Why calcium chloride added in sodium chloride to lower the melting point?

The heat of dissolution for calcium chloride in water is greater compared with the same paremeter for sodium chloride; consequently the process of dissolution need more heat from the environment and the freezing point of the water solution is lower.

Why calcium chloride spread on roads during winter season?

When calcium chloride is added to water, it lowers the freezing point. When spread on ice, it has the effect of melting the ice, and turning it to water. Calcium chloride is slightly less corrosive to metals that its "cousin", sodium chloride (salt), and so causes less rusting of cars, bridges, and guard rails.
