Agyrophobia

Agyrophobia (or Dromophobia^[1]) is a case of specific phobia, the irrational fear that crossing roads will cause bodily harm to oneself, even if no actual threat is posed.^[2][3][4]

This phobia is considered independent from the fear of cars, as even crossing a deserted intersection still initiates the fear reaction.^{[citation needed]}
