The campaign, which started on Friday and runs throughout August, involves increased speed checks on stretches which have seen speed-related collisions.
And roads where residents have complained of excessive speeding will also be targeted.
Chf Spt Lynn Harris, head of operations division, warned drivers that officers would be making maximum use of speed enforcement equipment.
'Collisions'She said: "There can be no doubt that exceeding the speed limit or simply driving too fast for the road conditions is a contributory cause of many road collisions.
"The higher the speed, the more likely the risk of serious or fatal injury. That is why we have given priority to the enforcement of speed limits as part of our road safety strategy.
"Although it is an all year-round priority, we do conduct speed enforcement campaigns which are designed to draw attention to the misery that can be caused by excessive speed."
Last year, 55 people died on Derbyshire's roads, which was an increase of eight from 2006.
Motorists caught breaking the speed limit can be issued with a £60 Fixed Penalty Notice and three points on their licence.
Magistrates have discretion to impose a fine of up to £1,000, endorse a licence with penalty points, disqualify drivers and order them to re-sit their driving test.
