Explanation

Agyrophobia (from Greek 'agyro' meaning street or road, and 'phobia' meaning fear) is the specific phobia of crossing roads, streets, or intersections. Unlike agoraphobia (fear of open spaces) or other common phobias, agyrophobia focuses specifically on the anxiety and panic experienced when attempting to cross streets, often related to fear of traffic accidents.
