Sounds like you did it the right way. Actually any driveway should be crowned so the water drains readily away from the traveled surface. If the driveway has a noticeable grade it's even more important to prevent water from washing down or across the surface. Ditches on the sides are neccessary to carry the water away unless the driveway is somewhat elevated above the surface of the surrounding area. And, wherever these ditches "bottom out" there should be an escape drain of some sort to carry the accumulated water away. In some situations this may require a buried crosstube (culvert) to convey the water from the highside ditch of the driveway to the lower side where the water escapes away to prevent it from accumulating in the ditch on the highside and eventually puddling in, and then then washing across, the driveway surface to the lower side. Giving serious thought and basic engineering practice to driveway location and design can be essential to keep them from being a continous problem.
