The highest recorded speed clocked, at a 30mph limit point in the road, was 47mph.
A spokesman said: "Words of advice were issued to a number of other drivers in relation to speed and vehicle defects.
"Breath tests were carried out on 14 drivers, all negative.
"Similar operations have been undertaken recently all over East Devon and we will continue to carry them out in the future."
