Agyrophobia is the fear of crossing the road. There has to be a chicken joke in here somewhere, right? Okay, okay, we know this is nothing to cluck at, so let's just get to the other side of this phobia. Like all other fears, this agyrophobia likely stems from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic accident while crossing a road, bridge, or other thoroughfares.
This seems silly, but when you think about it, being hit by a car while crossing the street, seeing a bridge collapse right before or after walking across it, or being in a wreck while driving through a busy intersection would make anyone fearful.
