1. A terror of crossing a busy boulevard: Jack, who suffered from agyiophobia, always tried to avoid walking to the other side of a street except when he was with a group of other people who were waiting for the light to change so he could walk across with them.
2. An excessive distrust of public places where help might not be available or from which escape might be difficult to achieve: Jackie loved to go by subway in her town, but her brother, who suffered from agyiophobia, avoided this completely and always walked whenever he could.
