Raising the driveway would probably work as I have noticed local roads that run across open fields and are well above the ground around them will sometimes be blown bare and the drifting will occur on the lee side of the road. Raising an existing driveway might be impractical for many reasons including cost.

It was not uncommon to see the old farmer plow cross lots where the drifting was less apt to occur when the ground was frozen and solid. About 15 years ago the place was bought by some people from "the city" and to their credit, they constructed a new "raised" driveway at the location the old farmer used in bad weather. Of course, that cuts right through a tillable field but doesn't really matter as the place is no longer farmed anyway.
