contents We present the first edge $E_r$ measurements in negative triangularity (NT) TCV plasmas. The Doppler backscattering measurements of $v_\perp \approx E_r/B$ reveal a significant impact of triangularity on the $E_r$ well: In Ohmic, NBI, and ECRH heated discharges, the $E_r$ well and associated $E_r \times B$ shear are stronger in NT-shaped plasmas compared to their positive triangularity (PT) counterpart. This suggests a connection to the concomitant NT performance gain relative to PT L-mode.
