Overview
Agyrophobia (or Dromophobia[1]) is a type of specific phobia, the irrational fearthat crossing streets will cause bodily harm to oneself, even if no actual threat is posed.[2][3][4] The fear is suffered due to greater difficulty moving through crowded pedestrian alongside busy streets. Even fear sufferers would still drive cars, but will avoid walking on streets, meaning they will avoid sporting events, political rallies, and shopping where they're often crowded.
This phobia is considered independent from the fear of Automobile|cars, as even crossing a deserted intersection still initiates the fear Emotional reaction|reaction.[citation needed]
