Agyrophobia or Dromophobia is considered a specific phobia which is an irrational and exaggerated fear that crossing the streets and roads can and will cause bodily harm to a sufferer, even if there is no posed threat. It may also include a fear of being attacked while on the street or being unable to defend his self while crossing the street or the road. People suffering from this kind of phobia believe that they might be crushed or hit to death by a vehicle while they are on the street or road. This fear can sometimes take an extreme state and the sufferer starts to feel scared just by mentioning a street name. Agyrophobia is considered to be independent from the fear of cars, since crossing the intersection can initiate the fear reaction.
