Answer

Green reflective studs mark the boundary between the main carriageway and a slip road.
Green reflective studs are positioned between the main carriageway and slip roads (or lay-bys) to clearly mark exit and entry points at night and during poor visibility.

Identify the specific motorway boundary location described in the question.
The location is the junction between the main motorway carriageway and an exit slip road.
The UK Highway Code assigns specific colors to reflective road studs (cat's eyes) based on road positioning and boundary types.

Green studs are used to indicate slip roads and lay-bys.
