How does eukaryotic RNA polymerase know how to transcribe a gene but NOT the corresponding complementary gene on the other strand?

For example, if you had a complementary sequence: (promoter) - START - (gene) - STOP, but this sequence only had the promoter/start codon by 'accident' (i.e. it wasn't 'meant' to be a gene, it just happens to have a promoter/start codon by random mistake due to complementary to the other strand), would it still be transcribed?
