I guess that depends where you live, living in a city there are people walking around my area at all times of day and night and in lower light these obstructions become even more of a hazard. Even outside of the hours you suggest, half of the year it is pretty dark from as early as 3pm. If kids are out before that time going to school on their scooters and skateboards as well they may not have the ability to recognise the danger these things pose and think they could roll over them which is going to end badly 8 out of 10 times where the wheels jam and stop but their body carries on going.
I will admit that what you have described sounds better than a lot of the massive ones I see around where I live but the problem is the majority of people aren’t considerate at all and think that it is their god given right to slap a cable with a massive hump over it and not consider that not everyone can navigate that hump.
I agree that there can be some consideration given from both sides of this argument to make sure that people are able to charge their cars as they are choosing a more environmentally friendly method of transport but also not at the expense of everyone using the footpaths and thus we come back around to making proper infrastructure so that paths are unobstructed and people could charge their cars without the cable from their house.
I do appreciate that you have at least thought about your application and have got something that is as shallow as possible unlike a lot of people near to me however :D
It follows my ethos of “not being an arsehole*” *where possible. We have a driveway but I have sorted out some EV cabling and ramps for friends and family.
