The latest checks come after a rise in speeding drivers being caught around Wiltshire during October.
In total, 1,137 drivers were clocked breaking the speed limit on roads around the county across the month, an increase of 349 compared to September.
At the time, a Wiltshire Police spokesperson warned drivers to take greater care on the roads during the winter months when conditions may become more dangerous.
They said: “With the nights drawing in earlier, road conditions are changing, and it is crucial to stay alert.
“Be safe. Drive smart. Watch your speed.”
