Agyrophobia
Agyrophobia (or dromophobia[1]), a type of specific phobia,[citation needed] is the irrational fear that crossing streets will cause bodily harm to oneself, even if no actual threat is posed.[2][3][4] The fear causes difficulty moving through crowded sidewalks alongside busy streets. Individuals with this phobia sometimes still drive cars, but avoid walking on streets, causing them to avoid crowded settings such as sporting events, political rallies, and shopping.[citation needed][original research?]
This phobia is considered independent from the fear of cars, as even crossing a deserted intersection still initiates the fear reaction.[citation needed]
