Burbaphobia 

A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a outer suburban areas that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous. A sufferer will go to great lengths to avoid the outer suburbs, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. In the event the suburbs cannot be avoided entirely, the sufferer will endure the suburbs with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities.

Burbaphobia typically results from a fear of lack of general infrastructure - such as public transport, cinemas, shops and medical practitioners.

Suffers of this debilitating condition do not typically live in the outer suburbs, else they would cease to function.

Paradoxically visits to the country are fine and do not present with symptoms.

Bollaphobia

This is for those people who have watched the Paris bollard incident. This word is also just for those who are anxious or scared to go near a bollard in general, if you haven’t seen the incident I recommend you watch it before coming to this info and I came up with the word after seeing it because it actually scared me, seeing how dangerous bollards can be.
“After seeing the incident I think I developed bollaphobia”
