I grew up in Southeast Washington/Northwest Oregon and we crossed over the Astoria Bridge regularly. To this day I'm still a little intimidated driving over it. https://www.youtube.com/watch...
@WikiAdam I drove over it a few weeks ago, and it wasn't as intimidating as it had been in the past. But I was driving a much lower vehicle, and I think that helped.
The Burlington Skyway in Ontario is a similar height. True to it's name, it always gives me the feeling that I'm driving straight up into the sky.

Gets a bit scary when it's really windy. High winds knocked over a transport truck like 5 years ago.
@KMAlexander Yeah, certain conditions make it more intimidating (foggy days where the upper half of the bridge disappears or, even worse, super-windy days where you can feel the bridge sway).
@otaman yeah, scary enough in good weather. The only good thing then is if a huge ship is going underneath it at the time. The novelty is nice.
But having driven over it any combination of daytime, nighttime, high winds, winter storms, heavy traffic, and locusts, definitely not a fave.
Buffalo's 110 ft tall Skyway isn't great fun in bad weather either (https://www.youtube.com/watch...). Someone with car trouble was blown off not too long ago. Heading out of Buffalo is probably a little more of a fear inducer since there are no tall buildings, and most of your view is of Lake Erie.
