Spanish term or phrase: se colapsa de gente
Hola a todos,

Compuesto de estrechas callejuelas y antiguas casas de baja altura, es conocido como la mayor barra del mundo, dada la altísima concentración de bares y discotecas que alberga. El miércoles por la noche una de sus calles, la Rattingerstrasse, se colapsa de gente bebiendo al aire libre.

No estoy seguro de que significa la frase en cuestión - mucha gente o poca gente.

Gracias de antemano.

Pues, perdón - ya es demasiado tarde y no me había fijado en que era es>es!

Como dice Javier: la calle se llena de tal forma de gente bebiendo, que no se puede ni moverse. Con lo cual dejar de ser calle en el sentido de algo transitable.

"La capital hispalense, colapsada por las manifestaciones y el maratón" - otros motivos que causen este tipo de "atasque" (gridlock en inglés).
